With Many Thanks to David Wood

MThNZ Pro Bono Auditor for 30 plus years

On behalf of MThNZ, Linda Webb (Interim Chair & President) presented
David wood with a Certificate of Appreciation for his many years of service to MThNZ, along with an ancient Kauri Plate.

David’s response: Thank you so much for the presentation this morning. I felt honoured by the lovely presents. Please thank the Board on my behalf for the presents and for the card. It’s interesting that we purchased a swamp kauri bowl one time when we were in Northland, so the plate will go very nicely with that. Kind Regards David Wood

Music Therapy has not only brought our daughter great improvements in motor planning, finger strength, communication and attention span, it has brought her great joy as well. There is no place she would rather be than in a room making music.

John and Emma - Hamilton, NZ

“Yesterday was one of the most rewarding when we had a visit from a Music Therapist. What a great experience. To see a whole group of residents joining in by either singing, requesting, conversing, or ‘playing’ an instrument was a very emotional experience. The communication between residents was great and it was obvious how well they responded…it was brilliant.”

"My family have been thrilled with Liz’s Music Therapy and her regular reporting. Mum has dementia however I have noticed improvements in her cognitive functioning since she started her sessions with Liz. I know Mum enjoys her music sessions. I have no hesitation in recommending Liz – she has been a huge support in the care of my mother."
